A Challenging Case of Domestically Acquired Leprosy in the Southern United States.

Hansen's disease (HD) is rare in the United States, but a steady number of cases are diagnosed annually, especially in southern areas where armadillos are present. Challenges associated with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a complication of multibacillary leprosy, call for novel regimens. We present a case of a man with recalcitrant ENL from HD likely acquired in the United States. He required a combination of 4 drugs to control chronic ENL.
